If you’re among those frazzled by the use of multiple ID cards for various uses, there is a way to integrate your applications into a single card solution. One card. Multiple uses. No hassles.
For example, hospitals can use a single card solution for access control, photo identification, emergency information, timekeeping and even medication tracking (date, time, dosage, medication, and identity of the person who administered it) with a single bar code and proximity technology, all on the same card.
Prior to converting to a single-card solution, make sure the card manufacturer you choose has the technological expertise, experience and capability to integrate the various technologies into one card.
The move to a single-card solution is affordable and convenient. Consider these benefits:
- The convenience of a single-source supplier.
- The cost savings realized by issuing one card for multiple applications.
- The convenience and cost-savings of a “drop in” solution, whereby you integrate multiple applications by applying a proximity or smart card wafer to an existing badge. This enables you to convert to new cards over time.
Some manufacturers do not have the expertise to provide a single-card solution, while others simply aren’t interested in accepting the challenge.
